Not in NY, but the last line should apply for any legal permit holder or LEO.
STOW, Ohio - In an effort to create another layer of school security, the Stow-Munroe Falls School District is allowing off-duty or retired police officers to carry concealed weapons on school grounds during after-hours events.
Superintendent Russ Jones said the measure, approved unanimously by the board last week, was a "no-brainer" and could be a deterrent to violence.
"If somebody wants to create an emergency situation at an event in the evening, they don't know if there's a retired officer there or an off-duty officer there who might be able to stop them," Jones said.
Stow Police Chief Louis Dirker said schools are gun-free zones except for on-duty officers. He pushed the school board for change when he learned Ohio law doesn't allow off-duty officers to carry their weapons into schools without board approval.
"Us not being able to carry weapons all the time is alarming to us for self-protection and the protection of the citizens," Dirker said.

Although LEOSA
preempts state and local laws, there are two notable exceptions: "the laws of any State that (1) permit private persons or entities to prohibit or restrict the possession of concealed firearms on their property" (such as a bars, private clubs, amusement parks, etc.), or "(2) prohibit or restrict the possession of firearms on any State or
local government property, installation, building, base, or park" [SUP]

Gun-Free School Zone Act (GFSZA) which prohibits carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of elementary or secondary schools. Although the GFSZA authorizes on-duty law enforcement officers to carry firearms in such circumstances, off-duty and retired law enforcement officers are still restricted from doing so unless they have a firearms license issued from the state in which they reside and then it is only good for the state in which they reside.[SUP]

I read Harry Reid was trying to make it legal for off duty leo's to carry on air planes. Anyone know what happened with that?
